Footage has emerged from China of a young girl with a rare condition which means half of her face is hairy.

The video, filmed in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province last Tuesday, shows five-year-old Xiaoyu outside her house with her parents.

According to local reports, she suffers from a variant of a rare condition known as Epidermal Nevus Syndrome.

She only had a small mark on the left side of her face when she was born, but it has grown over time and now she needs major surgery.

Her family have already spent the equivalent of £8,000 GBP, almost all of their savings, on treatment, but she needs more and they don't have the money.

They are now trying to crowdfund the treatment in the hope that hospitals and "kind-hearted" people will help them out.
